    Castle Story 12/15: Monster Hunt s46 & Leaderboard | info on page 1

    Monster Hunt and Leaderboard Information

    The following notes have been generally consistent from season to season. Season specific information may be posted in the respective discussion thread.

    * Check you can spawn monsters!
    * Pink Skunkupines don't drop tokens when you defeat them. They might spawn from pink and wedding alicorns.
    * There are a range of horses and similar that will spawn the purple glimmer golem. Refer to link below for more information.
    * Trolls may be included but they change from being included season to season.
    * Monsters also drop their normal items in addition to the tokens.
    * Do the Bronze Hunter Trade if you are nearly maxed on Shield tokens so that they don't go to waste.
    * A Level 5 Jousting Arena will spawn a monster on every collection. Link to Jousting Arena Renovations thread.
    * The Mythic Research Center (from L22) crafts are available to craft anytime if you have the tokens.
    * If it's your first Monster Hunt, the new trades might appear after you do 1 of any trade in the Trade Wagon.
    * Remember to collect from Princess Lorelei's fountain for a chance at gold tokens (about a 1 in 3 drop rate)

    * BLUE DIRE BOARS will only spawn once a day.

    Summary:
    1. Horses (for unlimited glimmer golems)
    2. Dead trees (for once daily blue dire boar)
    3. Princess Lorelei's fountain (chance to drop gold troll tokens)
    4. Jousting arena (level five guaranteed monster spawn)
    5. Monster statues (drop silver tokens)
    6. Troll sparring pit (guaranteed troll spawn)
    7. Lair of beasts (guaranteed monster spawn)
    8. Dark Den (not guaranteed)
    9. Go through inventory for any monster traps
    10. The Prison (mermaid storyline) (guaranteed marmosea spawn)

    I'll use this MH to harvest Troll Tokens to craft three Armored Gorgons. I only managed to craft one in the previous MH and fully intend to craft the rest of these energy droppers.

    It'll take somewhere in the range of 32,000 LB points from endlessly whacking Purple Golems if I'm going to craft the three Armored Gorgons and the Armored Fox.

    I've smashed up enough Purple Golems to hit a quarter of the points, and already I've gotten rubbish posted on my wall...



    For the record, I haven't spent a single gem.

    Players should thoroughly explore their "rivals'" islands before posting statements like this one.

    It's a bit disappointing that some players feel they can leave such messages.

    I've been playing for 7 yrs and have built up quite a nice stock of energy droppers and I started this hunt with 80,000 energy and if I choose to spend a few thousand on hunt I will. When this hunt started I had enough troll tokens to craft armoured fox right away. I have a number of token droppers that build up my totals between hunts, and again if I choose to take advantage of them. I don't use gems or buy special packs I could easily come first in all hunts but don't always want the 1st place prize. At present I'm confined to a hospital bed and CS is keeping company. (hope the unicorn in my kitchen and her companion faerie in my bedroom are not fretting with me away from home for a few days)

    I did calculate that with Purple Golems you need ~100 Points per Troll Token. Converted in Energy, that is around 80 per Token! Blue Dire Boars have a better ROI! But with only 1 per day, it doesn't make a huge difference. Some other spawns have also a good ratio, but you lose so much on spawn energy that it is not so interesting. Hence having many spawn buildings is nice.

    Yep That works out to 2 1/2 Purple Golems (or horses) per Troll Token.

    I've crafted one out of three of the Armored Gorgons and am twenty Troll Tokens from my second

    I found out I forgot to upgrade one of my wizard portal, so I will aim for 1 Gorgon. In general I am bored like hell so I spend only 2x1 hours + a little in between slashing Golems per day. That pushes my token generation in the ~120 realm.
